AI That Helps Humans Do Their Best Work, with Emma Beattie

Most companies are measuring AI too narrowly. The real business opportunity is not just productivity, but removing the hidden friction that stops people doing their best work. AI can reduce cognitive load, help structure thinking, hold context, and make work more accessible, especially for neuro-divergent employees navigating systems built around a narrow idea of how people should operate.Emma, a customer success specialist at Computacenter, brings a sharp people-and-systems lens to AI adoption. Her message is clear: AI should not replace human support, judgment, or care. Used responsibly, it can act like workplace scaffolding, helping people contribute at a higher level without burning out. For leaders, the question is no longer simply “does AI make teams faster?” It is “who does AI enable, and what barriers can it remove?AI is our Business.UKAI is the Trade Association for AI businesses across the UK.
